Clarisse looks up, and for a second it's like she forgets how to breathe.
She hadn't thought about it until just now, that this sky is full of the same constellations with the same names that she knows from her own home. Hearing Ellie say them is jarring enough, but actually looking up and seeing them hits her in a way she doesn't expect. It's not like she's ever been into astronomy.
Her chest feels tight, and for a moment she's not sure whether she might start crying. Then another meteor flashes across the sky, and the moment breaks. Clarisse exhales slow and heavy.
"Wow," she says, fingers curling against the railing. "I forgot... that it's the same here."
